at the Georgia Chamber of

The State STAR Teacher will

Ten Callaway Leadership
Awards—a week’s vacation at
Callaway Gardens, Pine
Mountain, Ga.—will be
awarded to all district STAR
winners and their families.
District winners and first
runner-up STAR Students in
each District will also be guests
of the Georgia Chamber for an
eight day educational sight
seeing STAR Tour of Georgia.
STAR Students are named on
the basis of their scores on the
College Board Scholastic Ap
titude Test (SAT) and the
scholastic average for the first
semester of their senior year.
To participate in the STAR
Program, a student must take
the SAT given either November
1 or December 6, 1969. To be
eligible for consideration,
grades for each part of the test
must be least equal to the latest
available national average, and
the student must be a regularly
enrolled senior in one of
Georgia’s accredited public or
private high schools, un
married, and in the upper ten
per cent scholastically of his
class for the first semester of
his senior year. <
Beauty queens and football
heroes have long received honor
and glory,” said Charles
Presley, Chairman of the
Chamber’s Education Council,
“while outstanding scholars
and teachers have been vir
tually unrecognized until the
Georgia Chamber initiated the
STAR Program in 1958. STAR
recognizes and promotes
academic achievement, honors
the teaching profession and
explains the merits of the free
enterprise system.”

Purges Dubeck
By JON G. AMSTUTZ
PRAGUE (UPI)-The Cze
choslovak Communist party
purged Alexander Dubcek and
29 of his progressive colleagues
Sunday.
The ruling central committee
announced Dubcek and other
ranking liberals—leaders of the
1968 reform movement that
brought the Soviet-led invasion
—had been ousted from impor
tant positions of leadership.
The changes in the party and
government will continue at the
district, regional and city level.
The party forged ahead today
with low-level housecleaning.
Expulsions and ousters also
were expected in social organi
zations and trade unions, where
there has been heavy resistance
to government measures.
“The main front of the
struggle of our party remains
the struggle against the anti-
Socialist forces in our society,
against rightwing opportunism
inside the party,” said Dub
cek’s successor, party First
Secretary Gustav Husak.
With a speed that reflected
Husak’s firm control, the
central committee:
—Purged Dubcek from the
party presidium and the
chairmanship of parliament,
leaving the former party first
secretary with only his seat on
the central committee.
—Ousted 10 of Dubcek’s

Commissioner Sam Caldwell
plans to submit a resolution
against the Nixon administra
tion’s proposed manpower train
ing legislation this week during
a national meeting of state la
bor department officials.
Caldwell charged Sunday that
the motive behind the Nixon bill
was to “strip Congress of any
power” over the labor secre
tary. He said it would force
states to dismantle existing
agencies, such as his own,
which now handle manpower t
programs.
